• T1200XE error fall on hard disk 0 initialization

  Hello!

  I just bought an older T1200XE. When I start the laptop, it prints the message "error initializing hard disk 0" after the memory test, (a few seconds). I have to start with a floppy disk BACK.

  If I run FDISK, after awhile, it says 'Disc read error fixed', but if I run FDISK/status it shows me the disk of 20 MB. I downloaded FreeDOS and the FDISK, including in this OS says "controller error".

  I have an another T1200XE and this is exactly the same!
  I can't believe that two controllers or hd is dead!

  It may be possible that the free battery CMOS have erased the BIOS, but, how can I access the BIOS and configure the 20 MB HD? any idea? The setup1.exe program do not have a HD section...

  Help please!

  Thank you to.

• Error - 10008 # replace hard disk 1

  I'm sure that my hard drive has become bad, other messages that I read.

  I don't have any data out of this device.  In fact, I was about to start deleting old data so I could give this device to a family in need.  Went to start the computer to start this process.  However, when I went to do this, he went to BSOD.  Messed with it a bit, then I got BSOD.  I have fillany calculate to run the test and got the 10008 # replace 1 hard disk error.

  As always, I want to give to this family that laptop, my question is: where I could buy a cheap replacement hard drive.  Is it difficult to do? And I don't think I have a back up / but on the operating system installation disk.  I have to do to get us to open and it would be affordable.

  I'm totally willing to put in the work to get to the top and go, but was woundering if anyone would be willing to give me some instructions on how to do it.

  Thank you 1 million for all advice and assistance.

  Hello

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive HARD, here are two options.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  You may need, additional drivers and software are here.

• How t change the startup hard disk?

  I upgraded my hard drive to a 500 GB to 2 TB Drive with a hard drive, copy of the program, thinking I could copy my files to the new drive.

  You could add the second hard disk of 500 GB as a slave and copy your files on the hard disk of 2 TB if its startup. If its not bootable, try to load Windows on it and install the 500 GB drive as a slave and copy your files:

  Error message at startup time primary starter battery internal Battery (601).

  What is the CMOS battery? A forum q / said they have a CR-2032 battery.

  Is it the same thing for my laptop? & How to install it please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  No, the message is a bit misleading, in fact the main battery. You must check the battery and replace if necessary. For the second question: Yes, BUT normally it is in a 'bag', in many cases, you need to replace the entire 'bag '.

  Update: for your machine, it's not in a bag. Please see following page 4-46 of the Manual:

• To access the contents of hard disks T61 without a laptop.

  Hello

  The motherboard of my T61 had spoiled.

  I would like to know if there is a way to access the content of hard drives without another laptop because I don't know what laptop would be compatible and access to one if there is one.

  I read somewhere that I could use a USB OR SATA hard drive enclosure / adapter IDE... but I'm not sure if it is the right and the only options available.

  Please notify.

  Help much appreciated.

• HP Pavilion x 360 11-n010dx (HARD DISK AND RAM)

  Hi, I have the HP Pavilion x 360 11- n010dx and make it sound strange when in set at 90 degrees. as a click clikc click all the time, since the day I understand 5 months ago. to be honest never was a fast computer, as my old vaio run faster than that. I thougth it was for windows 8 and 4 GB of ram. but someone told me that might be you HDD. so, first of all is any chance to fix this disc using HDD regenerator or something similar (I do not), or do a complete restore of the system? (I don't have the box and Bill from best buy so I can't look for support or use the warranty and im from argetntina and I get this pc in the United States). In the case where I need is also a chance to change the disk to an SSHD? or a SSD? in this case, what should I buy? Last, but not least, is a chance to upgrade memory? I know that it is sold to the motherboard. (any remote chance?) If I have to UN sold is not a problem, because I can't use the warranty so... (no invoice, no box).  I have well appreciate a lot your help

  Hi again once I run the complete test of the system hardware, it does not any error on the hard disk. but the clicking sound again. and the still slow computer.

  Whence the noise? It's cooling fans, near vents or on the side of the hard drive? Look at the manual to their approximate positions & identify the area where the sound comes from.

  Are there any overheating, sudden stops, unusually warm air through vents or error messages?

  If there is no hard drive failure, it is unlikely that the cause is due to bad sectors of hard disk or all just bad HARD drive. To confirm the download, run this program free HD Tune - it'll take a few hours to complete.

  You partition the hard disk after you bought the laptop?

  I want to change the HD to an SSHD, because SSDS are much better, but they are very expensive and shorter life. for example, sshd maximun size would be bee 500 GB? I would like to put something bigger, is - it possible?

  SSHD - the listed compatible max is in this config: 2.5 "SATA 7mm (HDD to 500 GB + 8 GB SSD) hybrid (reference HP: 732000-005), there is no other compatible guaranteed.

  I suggest that go you for SSD - there is no problem, I've heard up to now with them. Certainly, they would work at least 10 years (and more than that) with the same performance & in my case (I have 500 GB Samsung SSD Evo 840) time to access and overall performance improves day after day.  If you want more storage, better, you buy an external HARD drive. If you want spectacular performance SSD is my choice, even though I'm not saying that SSHD is bad - but there still turns physical disk which is the main part.

  On the RAM I've already updated the bios, so I think that I'm ready to go for it.

  I check my virus staus and my pc is free, also check windows services and leave only the description, I don't know why is it so long to star upward and run the programs that I know is a modest, but Im pc use only statistical programs, office and that's all...

• Satellite C660 - Diagnosis indicates a failure hard disk

  Run the diagnostics on my two day old - Satellite C660 shows a failure on the hard drive. Check disk hard Windows ran without failure.

  Can I assume that it is a false indication by diagnosis of Toshiba? The thread on this topic is not conclusive on this issue.

  Thank you Fred

  Hi frredi,

  Diagnostic tool what you mean? It's the Toshiba Diagnostics tool that shows an error on the HARD disk?

  If Yes, you must contact the seller of the laptop and ask for replacement laptop. Bad HARD drive sector you can still get but he s not recommendable to save important data in this regard.

  So just give shop and take a new one. :)

• Pavilion dv6: hard disk gets stuck in a "loop", the private resources applications

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 (dv6-6145dx) with 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 x 64 installed, 500 Gb HD (Hitachi , 40% brand free).  It worked very well for a time very, very long time.  Recently installed Office 365 month last for professional use, which I was concerned might be a resource hog, but usually works very well.  I also AVAST! Antivirus Pro is installed.

  Last week, I started noticing a strange problem that I had not seen before.  Some applications have become desensitized.  I noticed the hard drive light was constantly.  So I tried to close some applications (including Outlook), thinking that I was running resources.  But the deadlock problem continues.

  Listening to the hard drive, I could hear this "stuck in a loop.  Something like "click-[bunch of quick clicks] - click-click-[break].  Repeats every 2 seconds.  Continues to go on and on.  If I leave the computer alone for about 15 ~ 20 minutes, I discover it has recovered.  But once I run the intensive program of any disk, this repeats itself.  It doesn't matter if it's a 3rd team application or system (such as the launch of Event Viewer).

  To try to limit this, I started in safe mode with network.  I thought that if it was driver related, it wouldn't happen.  I launch the event viewer and still, the loop of the hard drive goes.  All gloomy.

  My antivirus is up to date. I ran a full scan of the system (F2) and no errors.  I ran the monitor resources and Process Explorer in the hope of identifying what that either method was this... couldn't see just guilty.  I also created a new user and logged in with this account... has always been able to experience this problem.  It is therefore not associated user account.

  I'm at my wit's end.  I am grateful that I have another computer I can use, but this should not be the case.

  Anyone who is familiar with this kind of hard disk behavior consumes resources?

  "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

  I ran another system test and eventually got more details:

  "Disk hard Test" failed

  "Fast hard disk 1" (303)

  "Complete hard drive 1" (305)

  OK, so from what I've found, it's a serious error means that the hard drive has failed.

  He is a computer 4 years.  I never had a hard disk failure in a laptop before, and I had many laptops up to nearly 8 years, without any hard drive problem.  The drive inside is manufactured by Hitachi... they don't exactly have the best reputation.  Anyway, all the research that I have met never goes into detail as to what might have caused the failure and if some readers have a reliability problem.  The answer is always "you need to replace your hard drive."

  Anyway, I will not try to diagnose it further.  I send my laptop in for repair (still under warranty - exhausted soon, phew!).

  You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
  On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.

  Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.
